* Because UC campuses are part of a system, some of the information required for accreditation reviews is the same for all ten campuses, e.g. information about governance, research and personnel policies, etc., and this information can be made available by the UC System office on behalf of all campuses. Therefore the Systemwide Guide to Stipulated Policies for the WASC capacity review has been prepared by the Educational Relations Department.
